TIG-gear-patrol-NIXON-Regulus

Nixon Regulus
With input from current and former special ops personnel, Nixon created the Regulus, a durable and functional chronograph watch made to withstand the rigors of any activity you throw at it. Its 46mm case is made from durable, fiber-reinforced TR90 and is shockproof as well as water resistant to 100 meters. The Regulus features not one but two chronographs that can record times all the way to a one-hundredth of a second as well as a dual-time function, three customizable alarm functions and a silent mode setting. An adjustable LED backlight allows wearers to select the optimal brightness for all kinds of environments, and the five-year battery life means changes will be few and far between.

Sony-WH-1000XM2-Headphones-gear-patrol-full-lead

Sony WH-1000XM2 Wireless ANC headphones
Save $100: Frankly, the Sony WH-1000XM2 and the Bose QC35 II ($350) are the two best wireless active noise-canceling headphones you can buy in 2018. Both have a minimalist design and sound terrific, plus they boast the best ANC abilities you can get in any wireless over-ear headphone. The Sony WH-1000XM2 are extra neat because they have a feature Sony calls “Quick Attention,” which enables you to instantly lower the music volume when you put your hand over the right earcup.
The Sony WH-1000XM2 are going for $200 on eBay right now — which is almost $100 less than its normal $300 MSRP. This is the lowest we’ve seen the Sony WH-1000XM2 going for. It’s also important to point out that these headphones are “manufacturer-refurbished.” If you’re worried about them not meeting your expectations, remember that each pair comes with a warranty and a 30-day return policy. — Tucker Bowe

The Powerstation XL goes for $130 on Mophie’s website, but you can buy it for just $20 on eBay right now. — Tucker Bowe
